Going into the flick, I was expecting to see more of the baddies than what I was actually offered.

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2003)

Before I say anything, I just want to throw this out there ... "28 Days Later" is not a Zombie flick. I've heard it referred to as such (which is why I'm reviewing it), but it isn't. Zombies are beings that were once dead, and then brought back to life. "28 Days Later" deals more with a plague than death. Now, with that out of the way...
"28 Days Later" is definitely an interesting flick. Set in England, the opening shots set the mood perfectly. One man, seemingly alone in a world where all life has vanished. The fact that these guys could accomplish these shots is amazing.
The acting is superb. The plot is a little funky, and spirals downward near the end of the flick, but is solid enough to hold your attention. The makers definitely went out of their way to make a breed of baddie that could inspire fear in even the blackest of hearts.
Going into the flick, I was expecting to see more of the baddies than what I was actually offered. In some cases (mostly near the end) the infected almost exit the picture, giving way to normal humans who assume the meanie-head role.
Nevertheless, "28 Days..." was a lot of fun, and a DVD I look forward to owning at some point.
I recommend seeing this one!
PS: Don't buy into the whole "new" ending. It's a waste of time and a cheap marketing gimmick.
